I received an URGENT message from the Democratic National Committee today:

Subect: Help Gray Davis today -- deadline fast approaching!

Dear XXX,

Democrats urgently need your help!

Polls show Democrats and Republicans neck and neck, but the GOP is planning a multimillion dollar infusion of special interest cash to try and steal this election.

Republicans have targeted Gray Davis for defeat in California and will stop at nothing to win!

Is this really the most effective fundraising appeal the DNC could write? Not only is Gray Davis exhibit A in what's wrong with our political system today, but he's also flush with cash. If his $60 million can't defeat Simon's $6 million in a Democratic trending state, then Davis deserves to lose. What's next, a "save Toricelli" fundraising appeal?
